'Morning, everyone!

 

Chispa is doing her typical dive from +2 to + 3, despite tsp of LC after +2. If this were PM, she would not be getting food now (I typically feed her at +2 before bed, then leave food in automatic feeder for +5) ... I am going to not feed her and retest at +5 to see where she goes (will also check on her at +4 if she's not up and around).

 

It’s seems it’s a good day to collect data to better “know thy cat”.

 

That said, she would typically have gotten a full meal at +2 ... I only gave her a snack because the number had gone UP from amps. And she is also gaining weight on her (ahem) "diet."

 

It's a good thing they are so cute ... The things we do!!

 

You could probably try smaller portion sizes? Feed a part of the PS meal at +1 and a smaller snack at +2.

 

Thanks, Bhooma. I saw this too late to try the +1 +2 strategy, but based on last night’s numbers- which are identical to tonight’s so far - I fed her at PMPS and +2.5. We shall see!

 

Last night she was 65 at +3, tonight it’s 67 - so the meal at 2.5 didn’t prevent the +3 drop. I guess it’s just her thing. @Bandit's Mom Is it safe to hit the hay, or should I set an alarm to keep testing?

 

She nadirs around +3 so you should be good. Feed before hitting the hay.

 

Done. I’ll leave a meal in the automatic feeder for later, too. Thanks, and good night!
